BRIEF 4 PLAGIARISM AND FABRICATION

Plagiarism and Fabrication

In simple words, plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Plagiarism and Fabrication is considered to be a crime because it really is a huge deal. So, we should always be as original as possible and not copy from someone else's work. Even if we have the permission, we need to be extra careful and make sure to cite it when it comes to copying even a small part from other's work. The citation helps us to avoid the blame of randomly copying someone's work.

In Universities, we are told and given set of instructions in the very beginning which states that committing plagiarism and fabrication is a huge deal, and we will have to face the consequences if we ever commit  it. It is taken very seriously. So, we need to understand that we are not supposed to do it even if we are in a situation where there is no way out. For situations like that, we should seek help from people who are good at it instead of copying from other's working and getting ourselves into trouble. Sometimes people end up thinking that copying a few sentences isn't wrong but what they don't understand is even the smallest portion of copying someone else's work might put us in trouble.

My view


Therefore, plagiarism is one of the most important thing to understand especially by the students so that we don't commit this crime even unintentionally. We need to be extra careful about this and make sure to always cite someone else' work if we are using it but overall try to be creative and only take ideas from other's work, and make it in our own words.  It is taken very seriously.
